In terms of “The Long Bad Night,” which is said to be the original story:

Johnny (Joseph Gordon-Levitt), a cocky gambler, disguises a darker mission to destroy the biggest villain in Sin City at his own game. He beats the wrong man and events take a turn for the worse.[7][8] Along the way, he meets a young stripper named Marcy (Julia Garner).

And, lastly is “The Fat Loss”:

Set after Hartigan’s (Bruce Willis) suicide at the end of “That Yellow Bastard”, this story centers around Nancy (Jessica Alba) trying to cope with his death.

10. Sin City 2 Is Said to be Following General Sequel Protocol

Though Sin City 2 is supposed to be a killer film, it’s also said to be following normal protocol when it comes to sequels. Screen Rant writes:

Sin City 2 is heading the prototypical sequel route, where everything about the first film is amplified; here, that includes an even bigger star-studded cast, extremely stylized cinematography (bordering on experimental) and green screen effects that allow Miller’s black-ink-on-white source material to seem alive and breathing, and villains who are somehow badder than the yellow-skinned pedophiles, cannibal priests and murderous thugs in the first movie.
